openSUSE 10 Security Update : kernel (kernel-5339)
high Nessus Plugin ID 33253
Synopsis
The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.Description
This kernel update fixes the following security problems:CVE-2008-2136: A problem in SIT IPv6 tunnel handling could be used by remote attackers to immediately crash the machine.
CVE-2008-1615: On x86_64 a denial of service attack could be used by local attackers to immediately panic / crash the machine.
CVE-2008-2148: The permission checking in sys_utimensat was incorrect and local attackers could change the filetimes of files they do not own to the current time.
CVE-2008-1669: Fixed a SMP ordering problem in fcntl_setlk could potentially allow local attackers to execute code by timing file locking.
CVE-2008-1375: Fixed a dnotify race condition, which could be used by local attackers to potentially execute code.
CVE-2007-6282: A remote attacker could crash the IPSec/IPv6 stack by sending a bad ESP packet. This requires the host to be able to receive such packets (default filtered by the firewall).
CVE-2008-1367: Clear the 'direction' flag before calling signal handlers. For specific not yet identified programs under specific timing conditions this could potentially have caused memory corruption or code execution.
